Listen on amateur radio aprs-is network for messages and respond to them.
You must have an amateur radio callsign to use this software. Put your
callsign in the "USER" variable and update your aprs-is password in "PASS".
You must also have an imap email account available for polling.
You must have an amateur radio callsign to use this software. APRSD gets
messages for the configured HAM callsign, and sends those messages to a
list of plugins for processing. There are a set of core plugins that
provide responding to messages to check email, get location, ping,
time of day, get weather, and fortune telling as well as version information
of aprsd itself.
Typical use case
================
Ham radio operator using an APRS enabled HAM radio sends a message to check
the weather. an APRS message is sent, and then picked up by APRSD. The
APRS packet is decoded, and the message is sent through the list of plugins
for processing. The WeatherPlugin picks up the message, fetches the weather
for the area around the user who sent the request, and then responds with
the weather conditions in that area.
APRSD Capabilities
------------------
* server - The main aprsd server processor. Send/Rx APRS messages to HAM callsign
* send-message - use aprsd to send a command/message to aprsd server. Used for development testing
* sample-config - generate a sample aprsd.yml config file for use/editing
* bash completion generation. Uses python click bash completion to generate completion code for your .bashrc/.zshrc
List of core server plugins
===========================
Plugins function by specifying a regex that is searched for in the APRS message.
If it matches, the plugin runs. IF the regex doesn't match, the plugin is skipped.
* EmailPlugin - Check email and reply with contents. Have to configure IMAP and SMTP settings in aprs.yml
* FortunePlugin - Replies with old unix fortune random fortune!
* LocationPlugin - Checks location of ham operator
* PingPlugin - Sends pong with timestamp
* TimePlugin - Current time of day
* WeatherPlugin - Get weather conditions for current location of HAM callsign
* VersionPlugin - Reports the version information for aprsd
Current messages this will respond to:
